A month had passed and Erza seemed to be getting better but she still couldn't see but for some reason Minerva had picked up that Erza was slightly losing her memory because she brought up the fight with Kyouka but to her shock Erza didn't recall anyone by that name or a fight like that. When Minerva heard this she stopped talking then changed the subject about about the other guilds that were in Fiore. She was happy to know about that because Erza remembered all of the other guilds. Of course during the time that they have had together Mienrva would sneek a kiss to Erza but on her cheek though. There were times that Erza would turn her head and Minerva would accidentally peck her on the lips.

Minerva wondered though how was she going to explain to some of the Fairy tail members that Erza was losing her memory.

When nightfall came Minerva was in her bed but then she soon felt Erza feel for her and looked at her.

"Erza, is there something wrong?"

"Will you sleep with me, I'm kind of scared to sleep alone."

Minerva also picked up that Erza would either ask her to sleep with her or she would wake up and find Erza snuggled up to her. Minerva smiled as she pulled Erza into her bed. After Erza was in the bed with her they were both fast asleep.

Dream

"GET UP!"

A voice roared throughout the forest that was mostly at a little girl.

"I can't...it hurts..."

"I SAID GET UP!"

The small girl winced and struggled to get to her feet.

"NOW ATTACK ME!"

The girl charge at him but he grabbed her by the leg and threw her into a tree. The girl cried out in pain as she grabbed her leg.

"WHY DID YOU STOP?! YOU'RE SHOWING WEAKNESS!"

"My leg hurts!"

"YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE MY DAUGHTER!"

The small girl looked up at him with shocked and feared eyes as he continued.

"YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG! KEEP THIS WEAKNESS UP AND YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN TRASH!"

"B-But..."

Her father's glare deepened as he looked at her.

"IN THIS WORLD THERE ARE ONLY ONE LIFE AND THAT LIFE IS STRONG, ANYTHING THAT IS WEAK IS DEAD! NO ONE WANTS TRASH IN THIER LIFE!"

The girl blinked.

"What about...the animals? they're alive."

Her father saw one not too far and used his blast magic to destroy it. After that he looked at Minerva who had tears streaming down her face.

"Why Father...?"

"Take off your clothes."

Her eyes shot opened in fear but she did as her father ordered then he turned to leave while saying.

"No one will ever accept trash, they only want the strongest. I will get rid of any weakling and you are no exception. When your tears have dried you can come home."

Minerva had tears streaming down her face and she dropped to her knees.

"Noo..."

Dream End

Minerva's eyes shot open but she saw that she had only woken up from a child memory. She saw that it was still night time outside but she wasn't sure what time it was. She stared at the ceiling with no emotion on her face.

"Father was right all along, no one did accept me, no matter how strong I became. The whole time being a member of Sabertooth when it was the strongest guild everyone feared me as much as they feared my father."

She had tears forming down her face.

"I didn't know how to tell them that I didn't want to live like him. I wanted to know what it was like to be accepted as I was and not for my magic."

She soon felt movement on her and looked down to see Erza moving.

"Minerva, is something wrong?"

"I'm fine."

Minerva watched as Erza adjusted herself to a position where she was sitting on Minerva's waist with a leg on either side. Minerva wasn't sure what Erza was planning but then she watched as Erza had her hand on her shoulders then felt her way up to her face.

"You were just crying. Why?"

Minerva just looked at her.

"I just had a bad dream, that's all."

"What about?"

"About...my childhood."

"..."

"Erza?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think I'm a failure?"

Erza shook her head and Minerva stared at her.

"You don't think I'm garbage?"

"Why would I? You took care of me this whole time. Why would think ill of you?"

"What if I told you that when we first met I was a cruel person who tortured your friends for my own amusement?"

Erza was quiet then Minerva went on.

"But then you defended them and beat me in front of everyone. When we met again I tried to kill you but you stopped me telling me that I was better than what I was."

"Then what happened after that?"

"..."

"..."

"I didn't listen to you and I was forced to become a demon. It was to the point that when we encountered the third time that I hated myself and asked you to kill me but you refused. You told that I was me and that there were people waiting for me to come back to my first guild."

Minerva was lost with her words but she wanted to let Erza know what she was feeling.

"You were the first person to know me for who I was and not because of my magic. You were the very first person that I felt loved by. I admit that in the start when I first heard of you I made it my goal to surpass you because of how strong you were. I honestly thought that everyone loved you because of you power but it was your power that everyone wanted it was the love you have for them. You learned to value life and friends. That is something that I have yet to learn for myself but thanks to you I know what it means."

Erza could hear and tell that Minerva was trying to talk to her without breaking into tears then she felt Minerva sit up and hug her tightly. Erza didn't know what to tell Minerva but she did smile and hugged Minerva back.

The next thing Erza knew was Minerva flipped them over to where she was on top then she began to kiss Erza. After a long kiss Minerva had her head next to Erza's as she laid on top of her.

"I am very thankful to have met you, Erza."

"Minerva..."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

She felt Erza nod then they both went back to sleep after that.

AN: Hey everyone! So sorry about the very long wait, I didn't know what to write in this chapter and after reading chapter 409 about what Jiemma said about Minerva I felt so sorry for her. I couldn't imagine what she had to go through.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I am sorry if a spoiled 409 of FT to any of you, Bye!
